Background: We assessed performance of participant-collected midturbinate nasal swabs compared to study staff-collected midturbinate nasal swabs for the detection of respiratory viruses among pregnant women in Bangkok, Thailand.

Methods: We enrolled pregnant women aged ≥18 years and followed them throughout the 2018 influenza season. Women with acute respiratory illness self-collected midturbinate nasal swabs at home for influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV), and human metapneumoviruses (hMPV) real-time RT-PCR testing and the study nurse collected a second midturbinate nasal swab during home visits.

Background: We compared cord blood antibody titers in unvaccinated pregnant women to those vaccinated with seasonal influenza vaccine during the 2 and the 3 trimesters.

Methods: Pregnant women had cord blood collected at delivery for hemagglutination inhibition assay against vaccine reference viruses: A/California/07/2009 (H1N1)pdm09, A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 (H3N2), and B/Phuket/3073/2013 (Yamagata lineage). Geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios were calculated comparing vaccinated versus unvaccinated pregnant women, and women vaccinated in the 2 and the 3 trimesters.

Background: Thailand recommends influenza vaccination among pregnant women. We conducted a cohort study to determine if the prevalence of adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) with influenza vaccine among Thai pregnant women was similar to that often cited among healthy adults.

Methods: Women who were ≥17 gestational weeks and ≥18 years of age were recruited.

Fetal onset of congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare manifestation, and prenatal diagnosis is difficult. This report describes a boy who presented with both atrioventricular (AV) block and ventricular tachycardia during the antenatal period. The early postnatal electrocardiogram showed prolongation of the QT interval and AV block, subsequently leading to a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia torsade de pointes.

Aim: To investigate the practical use of description for CIN 2 or CIN 3 in HSIL cytology, the objective of the present study is to compare the prevalence of histologic CIN 2/3 or cancer (CIN 2+) between women with cytologic CIN 2 and CIN 3.

Methods: The medical records of women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) on cytology who underwent colposcopy at Rajavithi hospital between January 2001 and March 2005 were reviewed.

Results: Of 152 women with HSIL, 70 and 82 had cytologic change compatible with CIN 2 and CIN 3, respectively.
